Since I wasted my morning waiting around for the HVAC guy with the memory issues, I decided to take the Paddy-Wagon out for a cruise.

Nothing like twisty back roads with the Del McCoury Band on the stereo picking out some tunes, and the sound of a sweetly tuned L-61 barking through a GMPP exhaust to turn a frown upside down.

Makes me glad we survived the "Blizzard of 2012" around here, got a whole 1/2" of snow up to the north in China Grove, poor folks are still diggin' out.

What are they using to dig a fork ? I was considering installing a new tune and going for a smile inducing ride, but what if that officer in the cruze is waiting for me ??

You're getting paranoid Sam. Not all Cruze's are evil, just like some Crown Victoria's are really driven by little old ladies, and not all silver Chargers are highway patrol cars(applies to NC residents only).

Now go out and apply that tune, throw caution to the wind, and get on that "loud pedal" so you can throw off the jinx placed on you by Officer Bob and his itty bitty patrol car.

I was just messing with you. When I met with 08 banshee, He asked what stg1 and trifecta were like. You don't think I just told him about them?? Since I have both we had to go and see. We got airborne a couple times, Got to love the fe5 suspension, Try that on them pedder springs. We didn't see officer Stadanko (bob) anywhere, since I reinstalled the cop repellant.

Well,, sad day...I found I needed a pickup around my property worse than I needed a HHR SS sitting in the car port looking pretty. So with heavy hart, I traded in my 08 SS with 37000 miles on it for a 05 Silverado 4x4. I will truly miss it, although it got me in a lot of trouble,,, but oh what fun it was. Someday, I will get another one.

I washed her up and drove her out for a 400 mile trip thru Southern Ontario, Canada, first to Hamilton then Woodstock, up thru Stratford,and Fergus, then on to Lindsay and London, then down to Leemington, along to Port Stanley and St Thomas, ( where Jumbo the Elephant was hit by a train) I bet that ruined Barnam & Baileys day!! then headed home also the north shore of Lake Erie to home and fune day for a 12 hour tour!!

Had somme scratches on hood and front fenders, cleaned them up w/scratch remover. Finish felt rough from sitting on dealers lot so I clay barred the whole car. Feels like a babys butt now.

Yup, that claybar stuff works good, all you need is a good sealer now , and you can just wipe her down, like Todd (Uma) does daily. Must be nice to live in Calif. weather.

Drove Boo Boo to the office, caught up on some boring contract work, watered my plants, hauled tail back home before traffic on I-85 became nuts.
